Abstract :
The characteristics of wide bandwidth and simplicity of construction make square spiral microstrip antennas attractive for today´s wireless applications. An overview of a method of moments analysis for such antennas is covered, and data obtained from a FORTRAN program implemented on a standard 486 personal computer is presented for a multifunction 900 MHz to 2.1 GHz test case
